We prove a main gap theorem for e-saturated submodels of a homogeneous structure. We also study the number of e-saturated models, which are not elementarily embeddable to each other

Using Koszmider's strongly unbounded functions, we show the following consistency result: Suppose that $\kappa,\lambda$ are infinite cardinals such that $\kappa^{+++} \leq \lambda$, $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ and $2^{\kappa}= \kappa^+$, and…

We further investigate the class of models of a strongly dependent (first order complete) theory T, continuing math.LO/0406440. If |A|+|T|<= mu, I subseteq C, |I| >=beth_{|T|^+}(mu) then some J subseteq I of cardinality mu^+ is an…

Let ${\bf K}$ be an $\mathrm{LS}({\bf K})$-short abstract elementary class and assume more than the existence of a monster model (amalgamation over sets and arbitrarily large models). Suppose ${\bf K}$ is categorical in some…

We extend and improve the result of Makkai and Par\'e that the powerful image of any accessible functor F is accessible, assuming there exists a sufficiently large strongly compact cardinal. We reduce the required large cardinal assumption…

The cofinality quantifiers were introduced by Shelah as an example of a compact logic stronger than first-order logic. We show that the classes of models axiomatized by these quantifiers can be turned into an Abstract Elementary Class by…

We systematically elucidate differences and similarities of the vacuum alignment issue in composite and renormalizable elementary extensions of the Standard Model featuring a pseudo-Goldstone Higgs. We also provide general conditions for…

We show that various tameness assertions about abstract elementary classes imply the existence of large cardinals under mild cardinal arithmetic assumptions.

In S. 1 we deal with amalgamation bases, e.g., we define when an a.e.c. $k$ has $(\lambda,\kappa)$-amalgamation which means "many" M in $K^k_\lambda$ are amalgamation bases. We then consider what happens for the class of lf groups. In S. 2…

Let omega be the first infinite ordinal (or the set of all natural numbers) with the usual order <. In section 1 we show that, assuming the consistency of a supercompact cardinal, there may exist an ultrapower of omega, whose cardinality is…

We consider a semi-classical completely integrable system defined by a $\hbar$-pseudodifferential operator $\hat{H}$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}^{d}$. In order to study perturbed operators of the form $\hat{H}+\hbar^{\kappa}\hat{K}$, where…

We prove the consistency of $\binom{\mu^+}{\mu}\nrightarrow\binom{\mu^+ \omega_1}{\mu\ \mu}$ where $\mu$ is a strong limit singular cardinal of countable cofinality. This result can be forced at limit of measurable cardinals and at small…

We prove that every abstract elementary class (a.e.c.) with LST number $\kappa$ and vocabulary $\tau$ of cardinality $\leq \kappa$ can be axiomatized in the logic ${\mathbb L}_{\beth_2(\kappa)^{+++},\kappa^+}(\tau)$. In this logic an a.e.c.…

We to a large extent sort out when does a (first order complete theory) T have a superlimit model in a cardinal lambda . Also we deal with relation notions of being limit.

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $\alpha$ a K\"ahler class on $X$. We prove that if $(X,\alpha)$ is uniformly K-stable for models, then there is a unique cscK metric in $\alpha$. This was first proved in the algebraic case by Chi…

We deal with stability theory for ``reasonable'' non-elementary classes without any remanents of compactness (like: above Hanf number or definable by L_{omega_1, omega}).

We give an example of a countable theory T such that for every cardinal lambda >= aleph_2 there is a fully indiscernible set A of power lambda such that the principal types are dense over A, yet there is no atomic model of T over A. In…

A first-order theory T has the Schr\"oder-Bernstein (SB) property if any pair of elementarily bi-embeddable models are isomorphic. We prove that T has an expansion by constants that has the SB property if and only if T is superstable and…

Shelah showed that the existence of free subsets over internally approachable subalgebras follows from the failure of the PCF conjecture on intervals of regular cardinals. We show that a stronger property called the Approachable Bounded…

This paper builds model-theoretic tools to detect changes in complexity among the simple theories. We develop a generalization of dividing, called shearing, which depends on a so-called context c. This leads to defining c-superstability, a…
